A PULL and CORRECT ' ACCOUNT of I . lle MILITARY OCCURRENCES .of the LATE WAR between GREAT BRITAIN and the UNITED STATES of AMF.RICA; 7 with an Appendix and Plates. By . Wm. JAMES, Author of " A Foil and Correct Account of the Chief Naval Occur treticesi" &c.—:-Two vols. Bvo. pp, ION; 1818. Mr...tAky's's Naval Wolk (of which sec a Re view in Tits SUN of July or August, 1S17) had already acquired no slight reputation, when a Milithrg Work, by the same Author, appeared before the Public. The professional knowledge displayed in Ole Naval Volume led us to ccinelude; that the Author was either " Wn.1.1,61 JAMES," the Commander, or " WILLIAM JAMES," the Lieutenant., in Mr. MURRAY's Navy List ; and, with that impression on our minds, we were, we confess, 'upon seeing the Author'i'annonticeMent of his intended Military Rork, somewhat alarmed lest, in attempting a subject 'so difficult to be handled by any hut a practitioner, he should en danger his well-earned fame. The very second page of the '' Preface" to the " Military Occur rences" informs us, however, that Mr. JAMES iS "no Naval •Offieer." Thus 'cast adrift in our conjectures, we were,.while perusing his second work, about to assign him some rank iu the Mi litary profession, when we are told by a friend, that our Author is neither soldier'nor The operations of the two services, although separately discussed by our Author, strictly rutin but one subject, a history of the war in which they were engaged. To render, therefove, .the Military Work, as well in show as in substance,, the companion to tbe•NaVal one, our kuthor has judiciously employed a uniform typeand paper.-; Connecting the works still more closely, be has In his " Preface" to the Military one, answered 4 long erring of objections raised in the' United States against some•Of his,NaVal . statements and hds afterwards entered at lengthintO several naval engagements (partitulatly on the coast and fresh- Water lakes), which he had accidentally omitted, or, for want Of Materials, not been enabled to detail, in'his first The Military Work contains seven well exe cuted plates, illnstrative of the.subject. Among them we observe one, - a chart of " Part Of Lake Ontario and of the River St. Lawrence, from an actual survey b'y Captain W. F. W. OvvtN, R. N." that would, we should imagine, greatly augment the value of the book to our friends in the Ca nadas. Suspeetin , the source whence this chart must have been obtained, and observing, among the " Subsciibers" in front of the work, the Ldrds Commissioners of the Admiralty" do am for "20 copies," their Lordships, if we recolleCt ari.glir, having previously taken 40 copies of the Naval Work, we feel gratified in believing, that our Author's successful efforts, in sustaining the naval renown of his Country, have been by theth properly appreciated. One peculiar merit belongs to both Mr. JAMEs's works, that of allowing free admittance, on every occasion, 16 the statements of the enemy. This gives an air of impartiality to the discusSion, vain►ly sought after in any other historical work, of home or foreig,n 'production, with which we are acquainted. The gross misrepresentations of the American historians, and the method adopted by our Author to tree his work from so dis graceful a stain, are thus adverted to in the " Preface" ! " A Prenclimanii contented to boast, that the best soldiers of his country hare beaten an equal number of ours. But an American historian will gravely tell y;itt, that ' about 200 raw, undisciplined, American militia, entirely routed 600 veteran British regulars;' aye, and that' with the bayonet' too : or, if the Americans are ;lescrib'etl as the nutted party, it is,--' after a desperate struggle with five times their num ber.' Noue Of these gentlemen think it worth their while to advance any authority for even the most improbable •fact• In deipite of our reason we are to credit their nalied asser tions; and to confess, that the herOeS of the new, are giants in prowess, compared to the heroes of the old world. Scarce ly is a battle recorded, wherein the superiority of numbers was not on the British side; unless, indeed, an opposite statement would s e rve to heap disgrace upon a certain com mander, because be happens to differ in political tenets from that party, to whose sinister purposes' the writer has devoted his talents and his conscience. " When a national otlicer does, as he always should, ex plicitly state the amount and quality of his own force, no one has a right to-dispute his word ; but assertions respect ing the torce of an enemy, unless nearly the whole number that engaged hint became his prisoners, ought to be received with caution. A General may find it convenient to show au extended front, of only one or two files deep, and thus de ••••. • ceive his opponent. A few stragglers in a wood may be con sidered as part of a larger hotly; or a severe unexpected re pulse may induce the retreating troops, from their fears alone, to magnify the numbor of their foes. Fur this reason -chiefly it is, that the author has resolved to take each party's positive enumeration of his own force, in preference to the loose statementstod ragu'e conjectures, too t- , fteu admitted 'into the opposite official accounts. " In a work of details like the present, many facts must be adinitted,' having Mi* official foundatiou on either side llele the reader, heyorsd the tale of probability; hits only the author's -veracity to trust to. Upou that NMI, he deems it proper to state, that i.O his military, as in his naval ,vork, utiotikia facts are the result of dit ect applicati , .iis to citli&i . s of lott and respectsbdity; but whose (as must Le oh- Nita's) he is not, is all cases, at liberty to disc:lac. Should, however, any oils-statement have ineatitiously•ciclit into tlii hal - railer, military or naval, the _author. would he happy to receive, and, When an:upportirnity otters, to make public, an authenticated Correct-Rm."

"'I little time, and less ineltuation, to enter sery d e rlt i 'Y into the saccesB•til otir ar:ll3 on the uppositc shore! [PRICE SEENPT.Ntg: of the Atlantic. Th,it, however, the warfare carried on there was nut (pile of a petty descrip tion; 'is proved by the tact disclosed in' Mr. ..lES's book, that the gro,s amount ot the kille'd, wounded, and missing, on hoth sides, during the war, vs apparent on the faCe of the different state- Ments he has brought foryard, exceeded 18,000 Men, -Few ot the engagements, owing perhaps to the nature of the grouted, appear to have been, conducted according to Eu,ropean tactics. There is, hOWever, a remarkable exception it, tLe battle 'of Chrystler's furor, fOti - gbton the 11th of Nov, 1.813 ; and in Which the Briti s h, amounting to 830 men, under Lieur.•Colonel MonalsoN, com pletely defeated the Americans, amounting, as proved, to 2500 men, un d er Brigadier-General " Tlithesto," says our author, " the battles between the BritiSh and American troops had been chiefly iitab-lighiltsg slsirmishes. Now they met in an open campaign, where. there was no shelter for the American riflemen, nor rests fur. their pieces. All was conducted, 4s General Wilkinson says % in open space and fair combat.' So steady•was, the firing, and so prompt and tegular the movements of.Cplonet Mor rison's little corps, that, on their part, it resembled a_tield day, rather than a destructive battle. Then Opponents, al thongh three-fold in number, fell before the superior tat- . tics,—not to say, as, ,in a similar case, all American writcr would, superior bravery, of the British regulars." Vol. 1. p. 332. Our limits will not 'permit us to extract very largely ; hut we shall endeavour to find room for Mr. JAMES'S account t..f the battle of Stoney Creek, fought at Midnight of the sth of . Jurie, 1813, while the American Army, under General 'DILAR•• BORN, was in possession at Fort George, consi dered as the key of Upper Canada. In order to Capture or destroy the I smail British Force under Major-General VINCiNT, eticamPed in the neigh bourhood of StoiiiyCreek, the American General detached two Brigades at Infantry, some Cavalry, and a strong detachment of Artillery. This force, on the morning of the sth, encamped within sever . miles of the British: " Lieutenant-Colonel Harvey, at the head of a reconnoi tring party, consisting of thelh,tbt, companies of the Bth anti 49th regiments, advanced close. to the enemy's encampments, and took an accurate view of his position. With a prompti tilde as honourable to his gallantry as his judgment, the Lieu tenant-Colonel suggested to Major-General Vincent,- in .the strongest terms, a night-attack upon the American camp. The ”bject was, to throw the enemy into confusion ; and, if passible, compel him to abandon his intended attack upon the British - army, It was certainly a desperate measure, but 13r.itish soldiers were to make the attempt, and hot to mali!: it would bring down the same consequences as a failure, — the capture or destruction of General Vincent's force.. • • " Themight pf the sth vi June, as if propitious .to the-un 4dertaJking, proved our of the darkest that had heen known, for many years. Owing to that very circumstance, as sq,all a number as could well be employed; would, it was judly con sidered, cu-operate with. the best!effuct. The men had been kept finder arms,. a waitiugan attack from the. enemy, since early in the afternoon ; and, at half-past eleven, as if n►ercly to take , up sonic new position accessory to the defence of the,post, .five -companies of the Bth, •and the whole of the 4Ffth Regiment, marched out of camp. The number was .exactly • 704 &clucks; or, which is the same thing, rank and tile. . , " Let us now pause awhile, till we have fixed, as accu rately as may be, the number and force of the American army. The only assistance we procure from the American accounts, are the names of ale regiments and corps. These consisted of the sth, 131 h, 14th, IGth, 22d, and 23d regiments of infantry, divraed into two brigades, of, according to the lowest returns in an American ,work, 1450 men each, We find 800 artillery mentioned as part of the Fort George force; admitting half only of that nu Is her, some of which were act ing as light troops, to have been detached on,thts occasion, and adding the 250 dragoons under Lolonel Burn, we have, for the force e.:camped at Stoney Creek, 3550 men ; but a Boston Paper of June 24, 1813, states the number at 41900. It becomes us, however, to be rather wider, than over the mark; we will therefore. fix the amount, in round numbers, at 3500 Americans ; just—without estimating the nine field pieces —five times the number of the British, who, in the so lemn stillness of the ❑ight, were fearlessly marching to at tack them. " The advance of this determined band was led by Lieu tenant-Colonel Harvey ; and, at two o'clock, the British re gulars, with fixed bayonets, rushed into -the centre of the American camp. The 4.9111 regiment, headed by ltiajor (ttow Lieutenant-Colonel) Plendcrleath, charged some field-pieces; and one of the artillerymeft was bayonetted in the very act of discharging a gun. A body of Ameritan infantry, stationed near the artillery,,and composed, it is said, of the light troops and 25th regiment, fired a most destructive volley at the 49th; but, instead of repeating what might have changed the fate of the day, turned upon their heels and fled. On this occa sion Major Plenderleath's horse was shot under him, and him self severely wounded. Smjeaut Fraser of the 491 h, having Captured Brigadier-General Winder, now brought him as ss prisoner to Major Plenderleath. , The latter mounted ,the Americo!' General's horse,- and lost that also, by a shot al most imdediately afterwards, Brigadier-General Chandler was taken, much bruised, under one‘of the guns. All this while the five companies of the Bth regiment, under Major ( now Lieutenaut-Colonel ) who so distinguished himself at Fort. Georgeovers dealing destruction to the roe my's left dank, composed of the sth; 23d, and 16th regi ments. • • " The utmost confusion reigned in the American camp,and the troops were flying in every direction to the surrounding heights. The plan having fully succeeded, and it not being pru dent to let the Americans discover what a small force had so put them to the rout, lest they should rally, and overwhelm their few opponents, the. latter, just as day dawned, retired to their cantonments; taliing will► them two Brigadier-Gene rals,, one Major, five Captains, one, Lieut enact, and 116 non commissioned etticers and privates, of the American army; also two out of four of the captured. pieces of artillery, along with nine horses to draw thein."—Vol. I. p.
